After his brother's tragic death, once-promising student Jonathan is now in danger of failing. Jonathan sees loss and life anew when, in order to pass junior year, the principal forces him to help an elderly WWII veteran write his story. Compassionate characters and poignant human connections will reach teens; copious references to poetry and music will interest the artsy set.
